On a regular semigroup S natural order relations have been defined
by Nambooripad and by Lallement. Different characterisations and
relationships between the Nambooripad order J, Lallement's order λ and
a certain relation ...

Growth rates between individually tagged Atlantic halibut, from a single batch of farm produced eggs, on-grown in sea cages and pump ashore tanks for three years were significantly different. The tank reared fish 405g - ...

Aspects of the physiology and anatomy of cardiac and
skeletal muscle in south polar notothenioid fish have been
investigated.
Relative ventricle weights for the haemoglobinless
Chaenocephalus aceratus (family ...

This thesis examines a crucial area in the translation of poetic discourse, the
translatability of modern Arabic metaphor into English. Two main questions
are addressed. Firstly, what makes a particular metaphor easy to ...

Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic ...

This thesis is mainly concerned with the impact of cellular
mechanisms which influence a particular instance of tissue
morphogenesis, namely development of the caudal fin of the
zebra fish, Brachydanio rerio.
Ultrastructural ...

The complex nature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has prompted the design of Multi-Target-Directed Ligands (MTDL) able to bind to diverse biochemical targets involved in the progress and development of the disease. In this ...

On November 17, 1307, the Armenian king, Het'um II, was assassinated by a Mongol, recently converted to Islam, the noyan Bularghu. In this paper I will look at this assassination, which has often been seen as significant ...

Digital technology has radically disrupted the established ways of organising the film industry. However, digital initiatives such as marketing and distribution strategies involving social media and online distribution ...

The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from biomes across Earth to ask how diversity within assemblages is ...

In this thesis, the growth mechanism of graphene on a transition metal support is determined, and the epitaxial relationship investigated. The main technique used is low-
temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), ...

Understanding the supramolecular interactions governing the self-assembly of molecular building blocks upon surfaces is fundamental to the design of new devices such as sensors or catalysts. Successful heterogeneous ...

Integration of lithostratigraphic, magmatic, and metamorphic data from the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision zone in central Tibet (including the Bangong suture zone and adjacent regions of the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes) indicates ...

Hydrolysis of germanosilicate zeolites with the IWW structure shows two different outcomes depending on the composition of the starting materials. Ge-rich IWW (Si/Ge=3.1) is disassembled into a layered material (IPC-5P), ...

In conservation ecology, abundance estimates are an important factor from which management decisions are
based. Methods to estimate abundance of cetaceans from visual detections are largely developed, whereas
parallel ...

Background: Assessing asthma control using standardised questionnaires is recommended as good clinical practice but there is little evidence validating their use within primary care. There is however, strong empirical ...

In terms of the current terrorist organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa, Boko Haram is undoubtedly one of the most high profile and among the more long-established. Following a panel session on the group at the 2013 conference ...

Heterogeneous data collection in the marine environment has led to large gaps in our knowledge of marine species distributions. To fill these gaps, models calibrated on existing data may be used to predict species distributions ...

The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires Member States to assess the costs and benefits of Programmes of Measures (PoMs) put in place to ensure that European marine waters achieve Good Environmental Status ...
